The Side Effects are Chris Whittier and Steve Johnson, both seasoned professionals in the New England music scene. We pride ourselves on an expansive range of song stylings, and an impressive vocal lead and backing harmonies. The Side Effects originated as an acoustic spin off of the party band Little Blue Pill, stripped down to appeal to an acoustic setting. From there we have continued to expand our repertoire to fit the needs our clients. We enjoy genre bending, mashups, and long walks on the beach.
The Side Effects were prompt, professional, very talented and affordable. I recommend them for any event that wants some good musical entertainment.
Price Range: $250 and up
Gig Length: 60 - 240 minutes
Languages: English
We provide our own sound equipment, which usually consists of a PA, 2 mic stands, vocal effect pedals, an acoustic guitar, and ipod stand for setlists and lyrics if needed. In general we typically prefer a 15 minute break after 75 minutes, but can be discussed depending on the events requirements. Dress requirements are fine if stated in advance. We prefer to stand, banter and interact with the intended audience to maintain interest and energy. We're always professional, and willing to work out whatever details are needed.
We've both been professionally performing for 10+ years in live gigs, weddings, and private events. Chris has been in both original and cover bands, and played venues such as the Worcester Palladium and the Dunkin Donuts Center. Steve is a music teacher, and is primarily a bassist for hire for professional gigs. He's played venues such as the VETS and the PPAC. We both played in a cover band Little Blue Pill for about 6 years, and have been playing in the Side Effects together since 2016.
I mentioned this in required equipment, but all we need is 2+ power outlets (grounded), and if it's an outdoor gig, shade is preferred. We CAN set up on grass, but a hard surface will certainly work better. And if there is any concern about weather, we would need to be somewhere covered so our equipment isn't at risk.

Hard to pin this down being a cover band. I think we gravitate around 90's alternative and current pop hits, but we play anything.
We know a few country tunes.
We know a few rap tunes.
We like dance mashups.
We've got a lot of very mellow, slow dance/dinner time tunes.
We like to keep things interesting. If we can pull it off, mash it up, or put a new spin on an old tune, we're all for it. Check out the videos section for some samples.
Power Outlets (2 minimum)
Shade (If Outdoors)
